Tiana Metuarau remains a key figure for the Central Pulse in the ANZ Netball Premiership - even while sidelined through injury

The Silver Ferns goal attack is being assessed week-by-week after missing the first two rounds with a foot complaint.

Pulse coach Anna Andrews-Tasola says Metuarau's still been influential on the players bench, and at trainings.



The unbeaten Pulse host the winless Steel at TSB Arena from 4 o'clock this afternoon.
